Transcript of Frederick Valentich’s Final Communications with Melbourne Air Traffic Control.

Twenty-year-old Frederick Valentich disappeared while on a 235 km training flight in a Cessna 182L light aircraft over Bass Strait, Australia on 21 October 1978.
Valentich radioed Melbourne air traffic control that he was being accompanied by an aircraft about
300 metres above him and the engine had begun running roughly. He finally reported, ‘it is hovering and it's not an aircraft.’
